Some good podcasts.

About four months ago I started listening to Podcasts on my MP3 player. Since then I have become a bigger and bigger fan. I keep telling people about it but then it’s up to them to dig around and find the good podcasts. The other day Michael came over and we were talking about Podcasts. Rather than email him the list I thought I would put the links online so everyone could find them.

Hindsight is a historical programme that had a brilliant series on the cold war. Lots of secrets have been released from the archives by the Russian, American and Australian governments recently and their series . There’s only one programme left on the site as a podcast but the other programmes can be streamed if you follow the links at the bottom of this page.

That’s about it for now. I’ll post more shows as I listen to them. If you hear a good one then post a reply to this post so everyone can share.

If you have never listened to Podcasts before the easiest way to get into it is probably to download some software that makes it easy to subscribe to and download podcasts. I have found Yahoo Music Engine with the Podcasts plugin to be pretty good. Although it can’t handle the firewalls at work. Itunes is very popular. I haven’t used it but no doubt it works well.

As I was doing this I realise that the ABC podcasts seem to get archived after about a Month. So if some of the links are broken that may have happened. So subscribe to the RSS feed to make sure you see them in time.

(For readers ourside Oz, Australia does not currently have Nuclear Power or Weapons, but does have a reactor for medical purposes). […]
